Louise Redknapp was reportedly rocked by the news that her former husband Jamie and model girlfriend Frida Andersson-Lourie are expecting a baby.
The 46-year-old singer previously hinted she may struggle with co-parenting duties if Jamie ever moved on.
Back in an interview with Hello Magazine following the divorce, Louise said how well co-parenting was going because she and Jamie were still single.
The couple ended a 19-year marriage when they divorced back in 2017. They share the parenting duties of their two sons, Charley and Beau.
In the article, Louise said: “Our rule is that while one of us is working, the other is with them. We both want the kids all the time and encourage the other to go out so that we can have them.

“We share everything, too. On Christmas Day we do the presents together, they’re from us both.
“Maybe this works now because neither of us is in a relationship, but I like to think it will always be like that.”
The former Strictly Come Dancing star has spoken out about the effects the divorce had on her mental health in her new autobiography called ‘You’ve Got This’.

In the book, she wrote “I saw lots of psychiatrists in the months following my divorce, as I knew I was unwell, but I was never open with them about how I truly felt and the reasons for the break-up. I skirted around the issues, so I think it was very hard for anyone to do a proper job with me.
“Despite knowing that anything I told the psychiatrists was confidential, I never really trusted anyone not to repeat what I had told them. And there was the fact that I didn’t really want to face up to my real feelings. I wasn’t being honest with them – or with myself, really.

“I was really conscious that a lot of the problems in my marriage were about my emotions and lack of confidence but I found it very hard to admit this.”
Louise also admitted to regretting not fighting for her marriage and claims she ‘ran’ from the marriage before taking the time to think.
Speaking to You Magazine, Louise said: “I should have paused and thought about other people and had just a bit more time to work out why I felt I couldn’t do it anymore.
